Undertone Radio Episode 038 - Hoppa


Release Date: 1st August

For over a decade, Los Angeles based long-time friends Derek Anderson and Scott Land have dominated the bass music landscape. Known together as SLANDER, the pair have been at the forefront of bass music’s evolution with continuous smash records, sold-out shows and consistently raising the bar with a non-stop touring schedule and discography that now features fifty releases.

SLANDER released a single titled ‘Before Dawn’ in 2022, marking a departure from their usual sound. In 2023, that evolution took shape, as they introduced a new techno-inspired alias: Before Dawn.

Rather than signalling a shift away from SLANDER, Before Dawn represents a new creative outlet. The project debuted at select after-hours sets, including their own ‘Starbase’ Festival in Southern California, and standout performances at Burning Man, EDC Las Vegas, Space Miami and The Midway SF. Derek and Scott officially introduced the alias with a sunrise set at EDC Last Vegas in May 2023 to most recently selling out the official Project Glow afterparty at Soundcheck in May 2025.

Derek and Scoot are now gearing up for their debut release titled ‘Reborn EP’ on Eli Brown’s Arcane Records on the 1st of August. With the remix pack due in September to include reworks from artists including Victor Ruiz, Charles D and NoNameLeft.
The dark intro on ‘Reborn’ brings with it an ominous ambience that lingers and escalates as the central beat begins to clap. Beyond this shadowy inception, a grim clutch of click- clacking hi-hats and corroding synths bluntly loop together making for an unsettling signal of intent for the bass maestro’s techno inauguration.

Succeeding the EP’s opener, ‘With Me’ is with SampliFire, a bass and modern dubstep producer who balances riddims and heavier bass with bib 808’s and drops, bagging him
earlier collaborations with Marshmello, Svdden Death, Kayzo and Wooli. ‘With Me’ is a delicious slice of darkened, warehouse techno. When a swarm of yawning bass chords and hoover like effects scatter after the initial breakdown, a baritone vocal begins to murmur before abandoning the melody to usher in a densely packed groove and metronomic stab that chops at the melody before abruptly coming to an end.

The third collaboration, ‘Spiral Eyes’ weaves into being by way of feral kicks, decayed strings and probing bass synth. A crescendo of deformed melodies then begin to uncoil as a despotic vocal revolves monotonously whilst the beat churns away until it eventually succumbs to a close. The single is a collaboration with Former, a Dutch producer who’s mainly released on Vision Recordings where he has numerous collaborations with Sleepnet and Ring Noord.

Before Dawn’s ‘Reborn EP’ will be released on Eli Brown’s Arcane on the 1st of August with a remix pack to follow in September.

NUDE is a sub-brand of Data Transmission focusing on Techno.

Hold on to your glowsticks! Michele Conte's "Morning Smacker EP" is here to light up dancefloors like a fog machine gone wild. Dropping August 15, 2025, on Uber Fit Records, it's pure peak-time techno chaos. Picture this: you're at your first underground rave in a grimy Sydney warehouse, sun peeking through the windows as if to say, "this won't last forever." The vibe? Absolute mayhem with a side of nostalgia.

Michele Conte, a maestro in crafting heads-down bangers, draws from the legendary Sydney renegade raves of the early '90s. Those were the days where chaos and bliss danced together till 5am, and no one had a clue where the night would take them. Conte’s crafted these tracks with raw energy, blending new hard techno vibes with old-school morning banger feels. It's gritty and hits different in the small hours, just like our recent obsessions with Boom Merchant's thunderous "Solo" and Marteka Fair's hypnotic "Missed Call (Bekkler Remix)".

"Morning Smacker," a tune that'll twist the crowd into knots, is the kind of track that can rattle the warehouse walls right down to the basement sessions. It's where the energy meets that euphoric sense of fleeting moments. Premiering on NUDE Techno, this is a call to dance as hard as you can, while you can. Don't just take our word for it. Dive into the chaos and grab your copy on Beatport. 

Time to hit play on "Morning Smacker" and feel the nostalgia wash over you like a warehouse sunrise. It's techno bliss, and you don't want to miss it!

Premiere of 'I Finished My Homework' by Diego Oroquieta, taken from Aquadance EP forthcoming on Soma Records

Chilean based producer Diego Oroquieta returns to Soma for his 2nd full release with the Aquadance EP. Armed with 4 uniquely produced and distinct tracks, Oroquieta moves easily between warping and hypnotic sounds to more tougher and abrasive material.

I Finished My Homework is a relentless, drum heavy opener that leans on a hard hitting and continuous rhythm while title track, Aquadance, takes a deeper, hypnotic route with pulsating, warping synths creating a dark tension throughout. La Serpiente Perdio Su Rumbo once again brings Oroquieta’s tougher sound as pounding drums back looped out synths before Amazing Dance closes out the release with distorted and unyielding power.

PREMIERE | Metapattern - Stasis (Original Mix)

Recorded live at Demolition Berlin on July 19, 2025, this set by Feinherb captures a night marked by tension, flow, and intensity. Now released as part of the Syncast series, it offers a glimpse into the duo’s evolving sound.

Feinherb emerged from a close musical connection between Max (Maximus) and Leon (K49). What began as shared studio sessions quickly turned into a natural collaboration shaped by trust, structure, and creative freedom.

Both Artists bring years of experience as DJs, producers, and heads of their own labels and event series. Max runs Voyeuristic Disorder and is part of Demolition Berlin, while Leon curates Legion Berlin. 
Their solo styles differ – Max tends toward raw, driving energy, Leon toward big room and wide textures. As Feinherb, they find a new balance: structured yet free, groovy, gritty, and full of playful tension.
